What I'm proposing is a plugin that to buy a certain pvp item and sell it again after about 1hour.
The idea comes from levelling 10-60(sofar) through pvp, I've bought the WSG and AV tabards (~4,6k), AV Mount (2k), Full 60 epic and all the honor gear available from 1-60 and I'm almost at cap again. Since you can't buy the gear before you reach the required level and I like to run my pvp overnight, It would be nice to have a way to store honor.
The plugin should work similarly to the one that simply buys gear except you would only choose one item, after an hour has passed it will finish the BG and simply buy another item if it can afford it and then sell the old one and buy yet another one

Example:
3,9k honor --> 1,9k and mount
--an hour passes-->
2,1k and mount(expires soon) --> 0,1k and mount(expires soon) mount(new) --> 2,1k and mount(new) --> 0,1k and 2x mount(new)

EDIT: Maybe you should choose 2 different items to alternate between to avoid accidentally selling and rebuying the new item

Can you go above honor cap by selling back items you have purchased? Otherwise I don't see the point.
 
His idea is like having a CD. When you have extra money(honor) you turn it into the bank and receive a note(mount/what ever item) and when that note matures (1hr) you turn it in and get your money(honor) back. essentially letting you go above the cap but with a chance to be stuck with items you don't need/want
 
This is a good idea. Perhaps the existing pvp honor buying item could be modified to accomplish this. It already has the buy functionality, just needs the sell part. So with this idea, you would hit honor cap, buy stuff u dont need (like pvp mounts 2k each) hit honor cap again, buy more stuff, etc etc, then when u hit the desired level, buy what u can, then sell back stuff, hit honor cap again, buy more stuff.

It's a shame blizz put lvl requirements on pvp gear, I used to pre purchase all the lvl 80 stuff as I leveled in BGs and had nearly a full set of pvp gear by the time I hit 80, then I would wait til I dinged inside the BG, put on the gear and be OP for the rest of the match lol.
 
Yeah somthing like this would be great. I'm sitting in the same boat. I'm leveling in BG's, I'm 82 with 3.5k honor. I don't want to waste it on lvl80 gear since its useless with the new cata gear being so much better. What he is getting at is, you could buy piece's of gear, sell, re-buy/re-sell to avoid losing the refund timer on the gear and use the gear as a ''placeholder'' for your honor. So you could essentially have much more honor than the cap of 4k. EG; you could have 2k honor on you, and have 20 Furious Glad Belts(465 Honor) in your inventory since they're not unique. So when you hit 85 you would have 20*465=9300 honor worth of belts you could sell back. Doesn't necessarily have to be the belts, none of the heirloom pvp gear is unique either. So after you have accumulated 5 belts you could trade those in for heirloom shoulders etc..
 
Only problem I can think of, is I doubt you can get more than 4k honor by reselling, so you have to spend all available honor points before selling anything back, and you must do so before the hour is up, so if you ever get into a really long BG it could run you over the time limit, so youd have to take a deserter to go out and sell back. Sounds a bit risky. We should just submit a ticket to bliz to let us buy honor gear before we hit the lvl it requires.... like it used to before they borked it.

You forget the 1 hour timer - you can't sell stuff back for a full honor refund after one hour..

That is why I don't see the point of a such plugin..

As far as I understand, it is not even possible to go over the honorcap in this manner..
 
I've been doing this manually with the pvp mounts on one of my other characters, sadly I fell asleep one time....

And it's a 2hour timer

Did you even read what I said? If you sell the piece and buy it back again it resets the timer. So no, I did not forget about the 1 hour timer. And no, you cannot go over the honor cap in your currency tab. BUT. You can bank your honor by having pieces with he timer still on them. If you read the post that you quote replied it explains everything, detailed on the process that would be required to do such.
 
Might be missing something here, but isn't honor currency for buying items you "need"? Why would you want to store currency if you don't need any items, and if you need items, why not buy them instead of storing the currency? There's a plugin that buys pvp gear for you between bgs.

If you level using bg's you will accumulate much more honor than you can use. Blizz has changed the gear to require you to be of at least the same level of the gear you wish to purchase. So if you were 82 and honor capped already you wouldn't be able to use it and would just waste and future honor accumulated. They don't send you the marks in the mail anymore like the good ol' days of aking bg's. So once you finally do hit 85 you will have enough honor to get a nice chunk of gear. This requested plugin is useless for 85, thats not what its for, I know thats confusing people reading this.
